Aside from when you need to fit/remove cranks/bb/pedals (or even a rear mech) and have to put the bike on the floor instead. It’s a flimsy piece of shit, happy to disagree (I’m right). I’m a long suffering victim of this stand, will eventually give it away and get a park one.

I got the park on sale for not much more few years ago. It's solid. Used one of the legs as a lever on a wrench to extract a stuck bb.

TBF I don't think any clamp-type stand (except possibly the wall-mounted workshop ones?) is ideal for that kind of high-torque work; I've got a Park PCS-10, and if I'm fitting cranks or a BB I just use it to keep the bike upright on the floor rather than as a support in its own right.

Nah my flat mate has one of those and it’s been abused for like 3 years now and it’s still fine. Yes it’s plastic and not solid but you don’t need anything more to do home mechanics.
I’ve just built a frame out of the stand.
